Think I Just Lost A Good Plumper

[Nyboy]

My sister called do i know a plumper leak at dads house. I do know a good plumper but should of said no. I called Steve and asked if he could go to my dad house. He said he was busy but would fit my dad in. Whole wall had to be opened and all shower replaced $700 Dad had fit he wanted to break tiles and replace whole thing called him many names yelled and screamed. Steve called me back very mad that my dad had no right to speak to him the way he did. I begged Steve to do work. Have feeling Steve not going to answer any more calls from me.

He can start stepping then, if a 90+ year old man was chewing my rear end I would let him do it and keep working.

My father has a belief tile should never be broken no matter why

Sorry but I agree with your plumber. Just because you're old doesn't give you license to be abusive.

Dad now happy with work. I called steve and apologized i think every thing good between us.I told my dad he can not talk to people the way he does , but willnt change

I am just waiting until I old enough to say whatever I want and walk away. I will have earned it is how I see it. Besides cantankerous old guys are my favorite, you never wonder what they thinking.

I am buying him a exlarge bottle of JD

So how would you get the tile off the wall without breaking it? I'm stuck on that.....

I’m sure your plumber was mad but once he cools off, will be fine. His calling you was code for “Come get your dad so I can do my job.”

Many cantankerous oldsters figure that they own the grandfather license. Even if, the nursing home will be putting that license away under lock and key.

Mel Brooks, the 2,000 year old man ... his idea was that wax paper was the greatest human invention. He and I both lived at a time when plastic was a near unknown.

Wax paper, difficult to find it these days ... recently I realized, after all these years, why I have problems tearing a piece of Saran Wrap. I tear it fast, like I did with wax paper. Jerk the box of plastic wrap right out of my hands!

Relevance. What an oldster thinks or says may have zero relevance. Today is today, this hour, this moment.

Gotta go. Flap my arms!
